To keep the Plexiglas surface looking its best, you must safely remove the bug spray without damaging the Plexiglas.

Things You Will Need

  • Spray bottle
  • Water
  • White vinegar
  • Dish soap
  • Cleaning rags
  1. Fill a spray bottle with 2 cups water, 1 cup white vinegar and 4 drops dish soap. Shake the bottle to mix ingredients.

  2. Mist the spray over the Plexiglas surface and scrub the Plexiglas gently with a cleaning rag. Continue across the plexiglass until all bug spray is removed.

  3. Allow the Plexiglas to air dry. The combination of vinegar and dish soap cuts through the bug spray and leaves behind no residue.
